Another Week in Preparation

Since IOL is fast approaching (only about two more weeks), practice as a team is now an important goal. Our last practice session involved solving a problem from the OzCLO (the Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad) involving a conversation between two speakers of the West African language Bambara. The problem itself required careful analysis of the time events occurred as well as whether or not the speaker was present at the event. Each team did the problem separately and then discussed the answers to the problem. Good teamwork is essential for performance, so the next couple of weeks will probably work towards that as well.
